What is a custom shower pan?
Simply put, a shower pan is the angled floor of your shower. While generic shower pans work fine with pre-formed shower stalls, custom shower pans must be built specifically for your custom shower. The shower pan must be fitted to your shower precisely so that no water leaks to the floor underneath. Since our professionals have been completing bathroom remodels in Houston and Katy and the surrounding areas for years, we are well-equipped to custom build your shower pan to guarantee both its snug fit and its good looks.
What is Hardie Board?
Hardie Board is a cement board which is used over OSB board (particle board) and underneath the shower and bathtub tile. The use of cement board ensures against rotting should any water seep under the tiles. Hardie Board must be used underneath shower and bath tiles unless the walls are already concrete.
What are Schluter Strips?
Our bathroom remodeling professionals work with you and your decorator to make your new tiling both functional and decorative. We use Schluter All Set to adhere your tiles to the wall and, to add a bit of panache, we can incorporate Schluter Strips for a metallic element. Strips of decorative metal, Schluter Strips can be used to break up the overall pattern of the tile or they can be used as a way to make the joining of two types of tiles look more cohesive.
You’ve already used Hardie Board, why do I need Laticrete Waterproofing?

These Laticrete products offer a thin rubber-like layer that allows for slight shifting of tiles without cracking. Laticrete 254 Platinum not only offers waterproofing, but also comes equipped with protective anti-microbial properties. Laticrete Hydro Ban and Laticrete 9235 are both load-bearing products which work well in high-traffic areas.
Does Laticrete offer different colors of grout?
